カリフォルニア州知事候補、AIで職を失った労働者の雇用支援に向け「トークン税」を提案
Tom Steyerは、AIで職を失った労働者の雇用を保証するGolden State Sovereign Wealth Fundの財源として、ビッグテックにトークン税を課すことを提案している。
California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer proposed a "token tax" on big tech companies, levying a fraction of a cent for every unit of data processed by AI. Revenue would fund a "Golden State Sovereign Wealth Fund" intended to guarantee jobs and benefits for workers displaced by automation, alongside infrastructure projects. The plan establishes a new AI Worker Protection Administration (AIWPA) and expands unemployment insurance, positioning the state as the first major economy to secure AI-impacted workforces.
